Ok guys I'm not trying to start an argument. This is primarily a hunting gun with the option to shoot out to 600 yard targets. I don't need the magnification for 1000 yards. The options I listed in the original post are set in stone, those would be the options in a perfect world. The quality of optics have improved leaps and bounds in the last few years. Budget friendly optics are out there to be had. The reasons for my options are to be able to dial in a specific distance or use the bdc reticle for the known distance. I'm a hunter not a long distance shooter but shooting out past normal Oklahoma hunting distance is great fun. I'll gather a few optics I've looked at and get you guys opinions on them. I really don't need anything past the 16x and as far as the objective lens size it doesn't matter as long as it works well in low light conditions. Most of my knowledge is honestly from reviews on the almighty YouTube and yes I know most of those guys get paid for the reviews. I've had a few scopes in the past that worked very well including a super cheap Tasco on a 7mm mag that was beat to death in the woods and never lost zero. A couple of others were a Burris a a couple Swift and those worked very good.
